I'm in the process of preparing for a presentation for my US History class on Jeff Miller, a student killed while protesting the Vietnam War in the Kent State University shootings 37 years ago. I've been corresponding with his mother via email and she's telling me the whole story about Jeff: his childhood, his talents, his rigorous passion to see people treated fairly. This report is tearing my fucking heart out. When she responded to my first email, she told me it brought her hope to hear about a young person interested in Jeff's story after he's been gone for almost 4 decades. I feel like I don't even deserve a glimpse into the window that's been opened wide to me. And it's been a serious challenge to me in how I treat and see human beings and social issues affecting the world that I'd previously ignored.
I hope you don't think I'm telling you this so that I sound humble or badass for trying to get involved with something much bigger than myself. I'm telling you I'm just now beginning to understand that there is so much painful shit going on in the world [that just aren't being dealt with] and if I don't start doing something to help other people, I'm going to have the bold realization that I'm wasting the air I breathe every fucking day.
I really didn't see this coming.

I'm starting to pack today.
It's so fucking bizarre.
And I'm happy about it.
There is so much that I will miss.
But moving forward is good.
It took me a long fucking time to understand that.
And if you've helped me get here, I'm thankful for you.

My brother is moving back to California.
Hopefully San Diego.
Do you have any idea how happy this makes me?!
If not, you don't know me.
But that's okay, because I'm stoked.
Right now I'm sitting at the computer in my chones.
And I was just thinking about how I'll miss that.
But then it dawned on me that I'm getting a MacBook as soon as I move down.
Which means all the MORE time in my underwear on the computer.
And I'll have a built-in CAMERA!
Bahahaha.
My life is ridiculous.
Yessss.

| sick. sick. sick. |
[25 Jul 2007|11:46am] |
I feel a little better today.
I could be recovering, or it could be the vicodin I've pumped into my body.
Every single time I stand up a shooting pain goes straight to my head.
I feel like Harry Potter but without the sweet scar.
My sister is here and I'm going to lie on the couch and watch Sex and the City with her.
This is the life...

I'm attempting to enroll in classes and I'm getting confused as fuck. This is seriously bumming me out.
I seriously just want to be listening to some Radiohead and cuddling. Instead I'm in Tracy where it's hot as hell and I get to deal with calling my Dad and telling him I don't know what the fuck I'm doing for an English class.
Fuck life today.

I saw The Order of the Phoenix and was disappointed.
I went to Great America today with my best friend and became indescribably thankful for her once again.
I think I'm ready to move to San Diego more every day and get away from the bummer life in this city.

You touch her skin and then you think, "She is beautiful. But she don't mean a thing to me."

4. Harry and the Potters is hands down the greatest live band of all time.
5. And evidently, I need to learn to drive again. Hah.
Life is fucking rad.

I hate insecurity. And the voice in my head that tells me I'm not good enough.
[And yes, I probably should get that checked out]
The truth is I'm afraid of not being afraid.
Just like a faucet that leaks, and there is comfort in the sound.
But I believe this is worth it.
Here's to starting fresh. <3
